Graduate a sem late for BB S&T SA or graduate a sem early for FT ER at small firm

Is BB S&T SA really worth graduating a year late relatively? Graduating in 4.5 years vs 3.5 years. Concerned about the recession and not getting return offer. On the other hand, I would start FT in ER at a little name place. Assuming I am equally interested in S&T and ER, have offers for both, and have the end goal of being at a Hf, which would be a better choice? Thanks y'all.
